r/Acura_RSX

Come on, all you RSX brothers and sisters!
To me, they’re rare and have a totally different vibe compared to what we see here in Japan, so I’d love to see your builds! And tell me what you’re most proud of about your RSX, plus what parts/mods you’re running too!

Previous owner really chose one of the hardest and most expensive colors to repair 💀”

Hello from Japan!
I’m Matsuemon and I drive an Integra DC5 Type R in Japan.
This is my first post here!
Once I get paid, I want to install RPF1s and +20mm wide fenders.

Got slammed into a guard rail both sides are smashed... very very sad day. Still waiting on insurance but no way they wont just total it out 😭Anyone selling on east coast pls lmk, I dont have money or recourses to rebuild her even though I desperately want to:(

Anyone know any reputable Honda shops or shops in general that do timing jobs and also looking to do a valve adjustment on my dc5. would appreciate any recommendations and any first hand experience at these shops.
pic to boost engagement.

So mint 😮‍💨

I finger tightened the hardware and it looked like it squeezed in just a little bit. Shop is installing it tomorrow so I just want to make sure all my hardware and gaskets are okay. Vibrant brand Donut gasket

Got this Revell Tuner Series kit car , never opened! I know someone would appreciate to see this, I’ll keep yall updated on the mini build 👍🏼

I have owned this kit for over a year now, came from a crash damaged dc5, had to repair it, thought it looked cool and threw it on. Ive had many questions about it or where to find it, i have no idea what the kit is even called? Any of you know?

I found these type s seats and the seller is saying that they are out of a 04 type s. I just want to make sure before i go make the drive and buy it! can anyone lmk!

Going thru a state referee with my my dc5. Sucks but I love this car but an s2000 would be sick

Y'all might remember me from a few weeks ago when I posted my just-repainted 2005 RSX-S. This was my first car ever, and I'm her one and only driver. She was my daily driver for nearly 20 years, and I never really took the time or money to do much cosmetically for her. She turned 21 this year, and since the paint on the hood was pretty badly chipped, I decided to spruce her up with a fresh paint job. Went from nighthawk pearl black to a rich metallic red, and then swapped out her badly curb rashed stock type S wheels for some black aftermarkets with a red lip. Other that that, she's stock through and through.

Everything was honestly done on a budget - she's strictly a garage queen these days so I couldn't justify spending thousands and thousands. The paintjob was a maaco special for $1500, the wheels were under $700, the tires were a new release from Bridgestone that had good reviews and only cost $620 or so for the whole set.

Next up: re-cover the split driver's seat, tint the windows, and maybe paint the calipers? I feel like red would be too much red (plus I wouldn't be able to get a color match), so maybe black?

As a sidenote, what do you all think I should do with the original rims? Sell them, keep them? They're not bent but they have a fair amount of curb rash.

Clean 😎🤠

I purchased a Type-S about 2 months ago. It only has 40k miles on it, but it’s still 22 years old (2004). I’m slowing learning things about it, but this is one I’d like to ask for some help.

There is a wire- I assume a ground, that is connected from the fuel rail, to a bolt/connector, and to the engine valve cover.

2 questions- (1) how is this wire meant to be? I’d like to make it like factory again (2) why do you think this was done?

There were signs that someone made simple mods on the car in the past, but was all stock parts when I bought it.
